PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed religious facility would provide a meeting place for the Blue Oaks Church congregants. The facility would operate weekly Monday through Sunday, with the largest congregant activities being held on Saturdays and Sundays. The proposed days and hours of operation, activities and anticipated number of congregants for each activity are summarized in the project narrative (Exhibit B). Maximum occupancy of the facility across the course of the week would be as follows: • 325 congregants and staff on-site on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; • 408 congregants and staff on-site on Saturdays from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; • 85 congregants and staff on-site Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and • 145 congregants and staff on-site Mondays through Fridays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Some special events such as weddings, receptions, funerals, et cetera are proposed. Most of these events would be held on Saturdays and Sundays; however, some special events could occur Mondays through Fridays. The size of each special event would be limited by the available number of parking spaces (on- or off-site) available at the scheduled time of the special event. See Table 1 below for more information regarding the available number of parking spaces on- or off-site at any given time. The applicant is also proposing exterior and interior changes to the existing building (project plans, Exhibit B). The proposed exterior changes include: (1) modifying the north entrance to the building by enclosing the existing rounded and fully roofed vestibule with glazing designed to match the existing building; (2) modifying the south entrance to the building by constructing a new rounded and fully roofed vestibule finished with glazing and brick designed to match the existing building; and (3) raising a portion of the existing roof above the proposed auditorium by approximately seven feet (overall building height would increase from approximately 18 feet to 25 feet at that portion of the building) and finishing the raised façade with stucco designed to match the existing building. The interior changes include the demolition of the majority of all existing interior improvements and would result in a floor plan comprised of an auditorium, two lobbies, office space, meeting rooms, bible study classrooms, a "next generation" multi- purpose room, a nursery, a hospitality room, storage, and restrooms. Please see the attached narrative and project plans (Exhibit B) for additional information on the proposed use and related site/building improvements. STAFF REVIEW/ANALYSIS Conditional uses are those uses which, by their nature, require special consideration so they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of the Municipal Code and their potential effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes, the Planning Commission is empowered to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for CUPs. Land Use The subject parcel has a General Plan land use designation of Business Park and is zoned PUD-I/C-O District. Religious facilities are conditionally permitted in the Bernal Corporate Park. If the CUP were granted, the proposed religious facility would have to be operated consistent with the applicable land use regulations and any specified conditions of approval.
